It focuses on building an understanding of the logic of care that underpins this practice, with a view to outlining new roles for museums within community health and social care.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book engages with the recent growing focus on community participation in museum activities, notably in the area of health and wellbeing. It explores this theme through an analysis of the practices of community engagement workers at Tyne \u0026amp; Wear Archives \u0026amp; Museums in the UK. It examines how this work is operationalised and valued in the museum, and the institutional barriers to this practice. It presents the practices of care that shape community-led exhibitions, and community engagement projects involving health and social care partners and their clients. Drawing on the ethics of care and geographies of care literatures, this text provides readers with novel perspectives for transforming the museum into a space of social care.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will appeal to museum studies scholars and professionals, geographers, organisational studies scholars, as well as students interested in the social role of museums.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNuala Morse\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Lecturer in Museum Studies at the University of Leicester.
